This volume is one of many accounts of Japanese “Manchurian experiences” and represents the most recent collection of oral-history interviews produced by the Research Association on the Memory of Manchuria. The six narrators—three men and three women—represent diverse social backgrounds. Except for Kasahara Masako, who was born in Dalian, all arrived in Manchuria as young children accompanying families seeking new livelihood opportunities. Their recollections trace markedly different life paths in Northeast China: some reconstruct the everyday rhythms of work within the customs service; others recall childhoods in military garrison towns such as Xingyuan, shaped by their fathers’ postings; still others describe involvement in settlement groups, service as technical bureaucrats, or a variety of other occupational roles. In several cases, the remembered geographies extend beyond Manchuria itself, reaching as far as the Sino– Vietnamese border. Through these oral accounts, readers can look beyond the grand narratives and gain insight into the multiplicity of individual circumstance and memory produced by war and colonialism. Perusing this volume’s “Manchurian Experiences” thereby offers a wealth of “discoveries,” ranging from the plurality and diversity of individual impressions to the inadvertent psychological reflections that can emerge in narration, all worthy of careful examination when considering the meanings embedded in memory.
